Zeppelin was well aware of Spirit and their instrumental Taurus
but folks really should not be able to patent a chord progression, arpeggio or combination of the two. The melody line is mostly chord tones. The fact is Jimmy Page and Robert Plant got into trouble with old blue tunes not because of the blues progressions and solos because they were really significantly different than the supposed original, but because Plant used the lyrics from the originals.
